    Bruh since when do we hold female rappers to the standard of males sales wise

    300k in two weeks is solid

    WTF does gender have to do with ? . If anything it's even more of a flop considering other than Iggy she has a whole lane to herself. Name another rapper besides Wayne, Jay, Em, and Kanye who has the media outlets and opportunity Nicki has.

    Bruh name all the female rappers who was outselling Jay, Dmx, 50, Ja Rule, Nelly, Snoop, Pac, Big

    It's far more likely a female will buy a male album than vise versa so that alone is why you can't compare

    Lmaoo and yall clicked ether like he got a point

    Just 7 years ago J Cole would've already been platinum

    Nobody is selling, this is the era where fat joe sold 40k

    You listing ? from a different era like you got something

    None of them hoes would go platinum today

    If 300k in two weeks is a flop for any artist in today's climate, you're hating

    At their peak Kim, Foxy, Missy, and Lauryn Hill was doing their numbers. Fox got 2 platinum and one gold album. Kim got 3 platinum and 1gold album. Missy got 5 platinum and 1 gold album. Lauryn Hill has 2 platinum albums.

    All those broads came along at the same time too in a congestive market place. Nicki had no competition up until now. She has no excuse and she has a generation of bird brain thots out there. How you have 18.6 million followers and less than .2 of them are buying your album.

    Lauryn Hill's first album went 8x platinum.

    and lol @ wale carrying a sinking ship, like i said bruh dope but yall cant possibly be talking about sales wise, when wale best seller still at least a hunnid k shawt of gfid, and mastermind>the gifted in sound and sales(? sleep on mastermind). if wale was where some of yall ? think he is, he'd be unquestionably considered in the same tier as drake, cole and kendrick like he wants to be.

    J COLE content nor style is commercial. It's a miracle he is selling that much. Nicki on the other hand is a commercial artist with a gimmick who is barely selling.

    Props to Cole and Fab, showing it's about touring and reaching out to your fanbase so they will spend the dough. LOL @ Nicki. All that promo, all those appearances, That album budget was crazy to for all those producers yet the fans still are decreasing. This album won't sell as much as "Reloaded" but lucky for her since it's Christmas season she will at least go Gold.

    All artist signed to indy are considered mainstream then since indy labels are distributed by majors.

    Mainstream is the type of music you make, subject matter, and the outlets available to you.

    KRIT and Iggy are signed to the same label. Can't tell me KRIT is mainstream.

    Shoutout the Prince of New York moving them units in less than a week...had it came out on a Tuesday and got the full 7 days wouldve sold 100k...had it been a physical release also, would've moved 150-175k...and wit a big single and promotion, shiitt....them Soul Tale series was the best thing for his career, really helped build him a solid fanbase along with the casual fans he had before.

    And ? callin Fab ? boring/Wack but prolly bumpin Cole weak ? while typing that fuckery lol smh...sad.

    Fab >>> Cole....and it's not debatable...word.

    nicki didn't flop he #as are on pace to be her 2nd top selling lp and her singles are selling so far from a flop . its funny the new standard of sales in 2014 only seems to be used when men dont put up #s like they didn 10 years ago but not for nicki

    She flopped, especially globally. The chick has sold 40k copies outside the U.S. with this album f
    How much your boy Cole sell outside the US?
